Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique practised 20 minutes twice a day while sitting comfortably.
It is not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle. Over ten million people of all ages, cultures and religions have learned TM.
"It is our birthright to be happy, to be alert..."
Hugh Jackman talks about TM
TM's scientifically proven health benefits
Hundreds of published research studies on the TM technique have documented its effectiveness on stress and anxiety, brain function, cardiovascular health and more
The TM technique allows your mind to easily settle inward, until you experience the most silent and peaceful level of your own awareness. It is completely different as it involves no concentrating or focusing, no trying to "empty the mind".
What people are saying about Transcendental Meditation
"It's the only time I have stillness...It is a beautiful experience"
TM is the only meditation practice that has been shown to reduce blood pressure…all other meditation techniques, including Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction are not recommended in clinical practice to lower blood pressure.
Perhaps its greatest benefit is that it's relatively quick to learn and easy to master. No waiting weeks or months of practice before you see results"
According to both the Australian CSIRO and American Heart Association (AHA), the TM technique is the only meditation technique that has been shown to effectively reduce high blood pressure.
A 2009 study found Transcendental Meditation helped alleviate stress in college students, while another found it helped reduce blood pressure, anxiety, depression and anger.

TM can change your life Find out more at an info session
The first step is to attend a free introductory talk or "Info Session". This will be presented by a certified teacher of Transcendental Meditation and generally takes about 1 hour. You will find out:
Why TM is so effective for stress and anxiety
Why anyone can practise TM
What benefits you can realistically expect
How it works – the process of transcending
How TM differs from other meditations
What happens during TM
Following the talk there will be an opportunity to meet privately with the Teacher to discuss personal considerations.
The talk is a prerequisite to joining a course of instruction in TM, but there is no commitment to learn. It is open to everyone even if you only have a mild curiosity! Feel free to bring a friend.
